Question from IFtL (12:07, 6 March 2024)

Hi I think I created this section by mistake, all I wanted to do was create a Wikipedia page where I add info about the organisation I work for. --IFtL (talk) 12:07, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

I'd try to help; but you're indefinitely blocked. :( Goldsztajn (talk) 07:30, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from SarahHunnings24 on User talk:SarahHunnings24 (14:49, 6 March 2024)

Hello, I have now declared a conflict of interest and wanted to double check it was correct. Also, how do I remove the tag to say that it has been done? --SarahHunnings24 (talk) 14:49, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @SarahHunnings24 - the tag on the article should not be removed until the article itself has been reviewed by another editor; the article has a large amount of primary and self-published materials which do not contribute towards notability. The article needs further editing supported by secondary, independent reliable sources. Have a read of WP:ORG which elaborates the criteria for Wikipedia articles on companies. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 07:25, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from DaveCHare (03:27, 8 March 2024)

Hi, How do I know/check the status of a draft I have submitted? (for "Raymond Allen Hare") It was rejected once, I responded to the criticism/s in an updated draft, and then resubmitted. D --DaveCHare (talk) 03:27, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @DaveCHare - it goes back into the queue, but I'll take a look at it. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 03:28, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
@DaveCHare - you removed the templates that indicate the draft needs to be reviewed, I've readded them. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 03:34, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Ok. Thank you. I appreciate you helping.
D DaveCHare (talk) 03:37, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi @DaveCHare - I left a comment on the draft - some suggested changes regarding the referencing, remember please don't delete the material at the top of the article (this will be removed once/if the article is approved). I assume this is a relation of yours, no need to confirm to me, but if so, just acknowledging you've done this the right way to avoid a conflict of interest ... thank you! Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 03:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

GA review review request

Hi, I am doing my first GA review, would you mind taking a look? Thanks in advance! Tosatur (talk) 13:27, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Tosatur - I've left some comments at the review. One general comment I would make - it's important when doing a review to look beyond the article's text - this is not so much about verification, which is a very important thing, but it is about making an assessment of what the sources say in general and how well that matches to what is in the article. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 22:48, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
@Tosatur - you might find this useful: Talk:Sumitro Djojohadikusumo/GA1 - this was a GA reivew I did previously, where the article started out lacking neutrality and with editing was able to achieve GA status. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 23:13, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

  • Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
  • Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
  • Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
  • Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
  • Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
  • Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
  • Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
  • Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
  • Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
  • Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
  • Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
  • Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
  • Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
  • Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
  • Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
  • Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
  • Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Rhodesia-independence-stamp-1965.jpg

Request for review in GA nomination for Seberang Perai

Hey there Goldsztajn I saw your username on the GA mentor list & I'm wondering if you're keen to review the GA nomination for Seberang Perai? Do let me know. Thanks a bunch! hundenvonPG (talk) 12:51, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Selamat pagi/ni hao @HundenvonPenang! Interesting, I actually made many visits to that part of the world in my studies and early career ... My name on the mentor list is more about providing advice for submission, rather than reviewing. I'm committed to other work at the moment on Wikipedia, but ping me again in early March, if the review is not taken up by then and I'll have look. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 00:27, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Interesting! Sure thing. Will ping you if the review isn't taken up by then. hundenvonPG (talk) 15:25, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Hey Goldsztajn Hope this finds you well. Just checking in if you're still keen on reviewing? Thanks in advance! hundenvonPG (talk) 01:23, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
@HundenvonPenang sorry for the delayed reply; I'll be able to have a look next weekend. No promises at this point to take it, but will come back to you. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 11:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Noted with thanks, Goldsztajn hundenvonPG (talk) 13:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
